OPENING REMARKS

To our distinguished guest, Mrs. Arlene Albuna; to the Rang-ay


Integrated School Principal, Dr. Arnel E. Gabuat; beloved teachers, alumni,
parents, visitors and most especially my friends and fellow candidates, a
blessed morning/afternoon/evening to you all.

We are all gathered here today to celebrate another milestone in the


lives of the graduating class of 2018. Graduation is about endings and
beginnings, a celebration of achievement and the commencement of a
transition to a different chapter in our lives as young, productive and
responsible adults. 

This is indeed the moment we have all been waiting and praying for.
Today also marks our triumphs over rigorous academic training and
challenges as well as the culmination of years of hard work, tons of sweat
to achieve academic excellence and invaluable efforts to make us grow into
someone we all want to be.

My fellow candidates, our diploma validates our degree, thinking it as


our ticket to a brighter future. Well, let me ask you to think of an alternative:
“Let us use it as our ticket to change the world and make a difference.”

Again, congratulations and welcome to the ___ th Commencement


Exercise! God bless us all!
WORD OF THANKS

My due respect to everyone in attendance, most especially to our


honoured guest, Mrs. Arlene Albuna, good afternoon/evening!

To others, graduation may simply be equated as the end of the


tunnel, or a breath of relief, but after years under the nurture of our alma
mater, we know it is much more than any of these. Life is an open road,
and though we’ve studied its highways and byways, we were never left
without a roadmap. Our mentors, parents and colleagues have constantly
been our guide.

Hence, on behalf of the graduating class, I would like to express our


sincerest appreciation and gratitude to all those who have helped us, in one
way or another, in the realization of our purpose and pursuit of our
aspirations.

To our loving parents, thank you for your unconditional love and
sacrifices. Please know that without you and your selfless love, we won’t be
where we are today. Maraming salamat po… and we love you.

To our dearest teachers, school administrators, you have done more


than words can express. We understand that more than once, we have
brought you much pain, frustrations, and even rage. Today we show you
our sincerest gratitude for molding our characters and for showing us that
there is still much to learn. Your firm guidance will always be appreciated.
To our classmates and our friends, you have colored this journey with
laughter, pains, joys and conflicts. it’s a blessing that we have shared a few
of the most memorable years of life together.

And to our almighty Father, the beginning and end of all things, we
only stand here today because You called us to enter and guided us on our
way. Thank you for the blessings and the opportunities. All the glory is
offered back in Your name.
